Ralph Lauren Holds Strong to Make a Statement Against Fur

By the end of Ralph Lauren‘s show on Thursday morning, I was starting to feel sick. If there’s been a dominant theme on the fall 2015 runways, it’s fur — fox, mink, you name it — and at Ralph Lauren, it looked especially animal-like, its uses especially superfluous, accompanying everything from outerwear to evening gowns.

Only it wasn’t fur. At the bottom of the collection’s show notes was a statement that read: “Ralph Lauren has a long-standing commitment to not use fur products in our apparel and accessories. All fur-like pieces featured in the collection are constructed of shearling.”
